My friend for many years
~#**************#~
He saved me from the water
~#**************#~
Now Im drowning in my tears
~#**************#~
Grief is but a poor word for everything I feel
~#**************#~
There can be no greater love
~#**************#~
He was there to guide me through the follies of my age
~#**************#~
Always there beside me everything forgave
~#**************#~
Held me as a father showing me the way
~#**************#~
There can be no greater love
~#**************#~
No fear did he have before the storm
~#**************#~
The fate of others was his only thought
~#**************#~
And though it was the way to certain darkness
~#**************#~
To save my life he gave his own
~#**************#~
For my life he gave his own
~#**************#~
And these words are writ in stone where he lies
~#**************#~
“greater love hath no man than this
~#**************#~
That a man lay down his life for his friend”
~#**************#~
“greater love hath no man than this
~#**************#~
That a man lay down his life for his friend”
~#**************#~
“greater love hath no man than this
~#**************#~
That a man lay down his life for his friend.”
